qosmos) who she lives with in a futuristic Los Angeles, California. Roxanne used to be lively and popular at school, with a love for basketball. But she greatly fell into depression in her teenage years when her parents divorced, and the constant stream of bad luck that follows throughout her life, causing her to look to other means of escape from a painful home life which then turned her into the reclusive person she is now. Though when her mother remarried, she met Monica and her life has improved greatly since then. For the most part.Years have passed and she moved from Canada to California for college along with Monica. At the same time she found out her sister gained superhuman abilities, Roxanne (using an animated avatar) showed potential to become a rising star in the gaming community of her world's most popular video-sharing site, only for her chance for fame to get cut short when she was kidnapped by an organized crime group, all due to Roxanne making a harmless online purchase that she accidentally turned her to the wielder of a string of magical gems without her knowledge. This group wished to use her as a pawn in their secret war in payment for her "theft" of the magical gems that they claim to originally own. Though she and Monica grew apart since the former gained superhuman abilities which lead to Roxanne feeling worried and jealous of her sister's unique abilities, she eventually was rescued by her sister and Monica's superpowered friends. Finding a place for herself in their cause, Roxanne joins their team on their quest to take down the group that kidnapped her once and for all, and uncover a conspiracy of crime mixing with the supernatural world and how her accidental encounter with the magical gems wasn't so accidental after all...
Personality:
INTP, Melancholic
+
♢ Roxanne is a constant pillar of support for her sister who she shares a close bond with. She is supportive towards the friends she made later on and is very empathetic, this trait is later revealed to be the key to her powerful healing ability that allows her to instantly regrow limbs and organs that have been lost for years, or even heal emotional wounds. Her sister Monica's rise to heroism inspires Roxanne later on to use her powers for good, learning to be more confident in herself and sharing the same can-do attitude as her sister.
♢ She's more down-to-earth and mature compared to her older sister who loves fictional superheroes, whereas Roxanne shows more admiration to real-life figures who made a positive difference in the world. She is academically brilliant and a quick learner, earning her a scholarship to a college in California. Observant and analytical, Roxanne tends to be the voice of reason for Monica, and to their mutual friends later on, balancing out her sister's more naive optimism and reining in Monica's more impulsive behavior.
♢ Very introverted and social anxiousness aside, Roxanne is quite lively on the inside. She is friendly and bubbly when speaking through text messages or chat apps where she shows a sillier (or even sharp-tongued or self-deprecating at times) and dry/ironic sense of humor. She can be more enthusiastic in person when around close friends or when talking about her passions. Roxanne has a love for archaeology and history, which are the majors she's pursuing in college and dreams to work in that field one day.
♢ Roxanne is pretty good with her hands. Aside from this ability helping her be good at gaming, she is good at cooking, assembling PCs, crafting accessories, and making cosplay costumes for herself and her sister whenever they wish to attend conventions together.
-
♢ Roxanne's main weakness is her low self-esteem and her lack of independence, borne from what seems like an unlucky life where her hard work and efforts seem to be nullified by unfortunate events striking her at the most opportune moments. While she is supportive to others in an emotional sense, Roxanne is also dependent on help and affirmation from others, especially to her sister who works to pay the bills for the two of them and gives her a sense of purpose. Roxanne finds it difficult to keep a part-time job, or doing anything that falls outside of her interests even for the sake of money. This lack of self-esteem makes her feel like a burden to her sister and her team of friends, value her opinions less than others, and even be self-sabotaging. Though she will eventually grow out of this.
♢ As a combatant, Roxanne's pacifistic nature and cowardice limits the strength of the gems that grant her powers, making her only good at healing and background support which only fed more into her lack of self-worth initially.
♢ Her lifestyle made her slightly pessimistic and cynical, to even apathetic at times, with moments of being self-centered due to her lack of close bonds making it harder for her to sympathize/empathize with others, although it's subtle and kept mostly to herself and she learns to care more for others aside from her sister. She can be moody and standoffish when people give her hollow or trite advice and words of encouragement.
♢ Like her sister, Roxanne feels stuck in an unfulfilling and unfortunate life and has a tendency to be defeatist when she compares herself to others on the subject of their careers and happiness with their lives (though less so than Monica). People who seem to already have their lives figured out, or does not have to worry too much about their future. Whether it's something that resulted from their hard work, or a characteristic/possession that she doesn't have, this feeds into Roxanne's struggle to find a purpose in life and an identity of her own and finds it hard to feel motivated to do anything that will make her happy, knowing it's going to fail anyway.

First Impressions:
♢ Visual: Short but with a curvy hourglass shape. Roxanne often wears baggy zip-up hoodies with cute designs or pop-culture references in them. She wears the Seven Rings on her left wrist, looking like a regular wrist accessory with different colored crystals in it. Quite fashionable thanks to her sister's and mother's influence, Roxanne wears colorful outfits that sort of contrasts her quiet expression. With a preference for skirts over pants, Roxanne almost never wears them unless running or in cold environments. She is often seen with her eyeglasses on, with photochromic lenses that darkens in response to sunlight. A bit of a sneakerhead, Roxanne has a collection of stylish sneakers of both known and obscure brands.
♢ Aural: Speaks in a soft-spoken voice often described as "cute" and "soothing" by those who compliment her, and sometimes making her sound younger than she actually is. This however gave her that relaxing voice that made her try making ASMR roleplay videos for additional profits from the ad revenue and subscriber donations. Roxanne is a decent singer, and she is fluent in English, French, even conversational in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.
♢ Olfactory: She often just smells of her apartment or a cat, as she is often taking care of her sister's pet cat Beef. She uses fresh smelling cologne whenever she feels like it, though.
♢ Demeanor: Quiet, sleepy, and keeps to herself; seemingly indifferent to the world around her with her attention often glancing down to look at her phone for the time. Although she could turn livelier and sillier when around people she is comfortable with. She walks silently and at a leisurely pace.
Powers:
♢ The Seven Rings of Yasarhah - a silver string of seven different jewels despite being called rings, looking indistinguishable from a regular fashion item which makes it's existence remain hidden for so long. It's a mythical artifact that activates if a user's Resonance (or magic) is sufficient. Roxanne's vast natural pool of magical potential made the Seven Rings choose her as a host, activating upon making contact with Roxanne and awakening her potential for magic. Each gem is once part of a ring used by a hero from the world Dain, and each one holds their powers and skills that they can let their host borrow. Roxanne can use multiple gems at the same time, though obviously it will be more draining to her physically.
- Red: Once activated, this gem grants Roxanne the ability to form a pair of crimson tonfas that can fire crystalline energy projectiles with a limited homing capability and the same fire rate as a machine gun. Roxanne starts off inexperienced but learned to use these weapons in close-combat to a proficient degree allowing her to fight even multiple regular enemies but struggles against skilled ones. She is limited by her own physical stature, lack of experience, and a lack of violent will though she later finds a better way to overcome these weaknesses through training and experience.
- Blue: Once activated, this gem grants Roxanne the skills of a grand priest with protection magic. She can create protective barriers that she can shape into different sizes, isolate a target, or use as a projectile by moving it with her mind. At full power, she can create shields that can even protect from dimensional attacks.
- Yellow: A passive ability that grants Roxanne the ability to fly, hover, and move at great speeds. Of course, the faster she goes the more energy this consumes so Roxanne limits herself to hovering and low-altitude flight, using those in tandem with her Red gem making her harder to hit and lets her circle around her opponent with ease, often mimicking basketball maneuvers of getting around her enemies.
- Green: Roxanne's greatest affinity is with the green gem, which grants her the skills and knowledge of a soul-surgeon with great healing ability. With this, Roxanne can repair destroyed locations, damaged items, and heal the most severe wounds and even psychological damages. Her ability to heal is actually just localized time magic, reverting things back to it's original and healthiest state and undoing the event. This cannot however, revert time itself or heal someone from the point of being atomized or from the point of death. Even her healing of psychological wounds could only act as a temporary balm. But this ability remains powerful enough to reverse the curse of the mythological weapon Gáe Dearg - which is a spear that causes wounds that cannot be healed.
- Orange: Once activated, Roxanne can physically "de-buff" someone and weakening them. This is effective for those who are far stronger, faster, and tougher than her, making it dangerous for close-combat fighters although this doesn't affect enemies that rely on the use of offensive magic or projectile weaponry very much.
- Violet: A counter to the Orange gem, the Violet gem can enhance someone's physical abilities of strength, speed, endurance and others. This can be enough to make a normal human be strong enough to hold their own or compete against most superhuman enemies.
- Black/White: The strangest gem of all, as it has both black and white shades that eternally swirl around each other. When activated, this gem allows Roxanne to see through illusions.
